Prince Philip left royal well-wishers aghast once again during the Queen's
Diamond Jubilee tour in London with a crude comment about a woman's dress.

The Duke of Edinburgh used his characteristic humour with members of the public in Bromley, south London on Tuesday as part of the Queen's jubilee visit.

When the prince met Hannah Jackson, 25, who was wearing an eye-catching pillar-box red dress with a zip running down the front, he told her: "I would get arrested if I unzipped that dress."

His comment stunned those who gathered to welcome the couple to the Queen's Gardens.

Miss Jackson, a schools and transport coordinator at Bromley Council, said: "I'm not sure really what to say. We were talking about the event generally, it was quite a busy day and I was in the formal line up."
